CARGO container by ALESSI

CARGO Series by BIG-GAME for Alessi. CARGO organizer for your desktop and home from BIG-GAME, the Switzerland based studio. The collection called CARGO consists of a tool box, a catch all tray, and a hammer. As the starting point BIG-GAME took inspiration from a 1930’s Swiss metal tool box. The materials and design were updated blending organic shapes with plastic and wood. The same materials were used for the catch all tray but the design was inspired by traditional Japanese wooden carrying boxes called okamochi. “CARGO box” is a multipurpose container designed by the Swiss firm BIG-GAME. “CARGO box” aims to bring the functionality of the classic, traditional 1950’s toolbox to a wide range of different contexts. A versatile object, it can be used in the home or office. “CARGO box” is the perfect storage solution, not just for work tools, but also for shoe cleaning products, desk items and sewing materials… “CARGO box” received two international awards in 2014: the “Swiss Design Award” and the “Wallpaper Design Award” from the British magazine of the same name. BIG-GAME is a product and interior design studio created in 2004 by Augustin Scott de Martinville (French), Elric Petit (Belgian) and Grégoire Jeanmonod (Swiss). It is based in Lausanne, Switzerland.
